On 31 October 2024, the General Office of the Central Military Commission issued the "Implementation Outline for the Prosperity and Development of a Strong Military Culture". The document mentioned "strong military culture" and "strong military thought" many times, but no longer mentioned "Xi Jinping's strong military thought" and "the responsibility system of the Chairman of the Military Commission".

Chen Pokong, a political commentator living in the United States, said in his self-media channel that the article has a total of 5 paragraphs, and none of them mentions Xi Jinping's name. The article mentioned "obeying the party's command" and no longer mentioned "obeying Xi Jinping's command". "Whether it is to obey the party's command or to obey Xi's command, it is very bad. Obeying the party's command is a one-party dictatorship, and obeying Xi's command is even worse. Obeying the party's command seems to have returned to the Hu-Wen era."

From this document, we can see that Xi Jinping has been eliminated from the military, and the military is almost independent of Xi Jinping. "Xi Jinping, the chairman of the Military Commission, has been sidelined, and now Zhang Youxia or the Zhang faction is in charge of the military." The majority of the General Office of the Central Military Commission is now the Zhang faction, Zhang Youxia, Zhang Shengmin, Miao Hua, and Liu Zhenli. The opposing faction is Xi Jinping and He Weidong, forming a majority of 4 to 2.

In addition, Xi Jinping inspected a brigade of the Rocket Force accompanied by Zhang Youxia on 17 October 2024. A photo of Xi Jinping and Zhang Youxia walking together was posted by the party media, and the word "Party" appeared on the wall next to them, which seemed to imply "obey the party's command" instead of "obey Xi's command."

The change in the military's slogan has also become a focus of attention. When Xi Jinping inspected the military, the slogan shouted by the soldiers changed from the previous "obey Chairman Xi's command, be responsible to Chairman Xi, and let Chairman Xi rest assured" to "Thank the Chairman for his care, we must remember the Chairman's instructions, work hard to kill the enemy, and solve and complete the task."

"De-Xiization" is also reflected in the fact that Xi Jinping's close confidants have been replaced or relegated to the second line one after another.

Recently, the official Chinese Communist media Xinhua News Agency reported that Wang Hao will take over as Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, and Yi Lianhong will no longer serve as Secretary, Standing Committee Member, and Member of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee. This decision came very suddenly, and the outside world speculated that this was related to the change in the power structure of the Communist Party of China.

Yi Lianhong is a close confidant of party leader Xi Jinping. It is speculated that Yi Lianhong's removal may be related to the further "de-Xi" move of the faction that actually controls power.

In addition, the situation of Xi Jinping's confidant Cai Qi is not good. Xi Jinping visited Fujian from October 15 to 16, but Cai Qi, who usually stays by his side, did not accompany him. The top leaders of the Communist Party of China have been dispatched to investigate, but Cai Qi has not made any move.

Chen Pokong, a political commentator living in the United States, believes that this is the situation before the senior officials get into trouble. "Senior officials have to keep a low profile, cool down and refrigerate before getting into trouble, so Cai Qi may step down."
